who's your hero wednesday, page-19

Nice story WW1.
You and I were lucky enough to grow up with Fathers who portrayed strength and character.
Earlier this decade my Wife & I owned and operated a Cafe cum Corner Store in a beachside area. A mixture of well to do folk as well as some battlers.
One of the many demographic observations made by me was of single mothers with fatherless children - affecting young boys in myriad ways. Some of the young fellas were worth encouraging and motivating, however some were lost causes.
I despaired for some individuals and accordingly the communities in which they resided.
Anyway to finish on a positive note and while I'm still compos mentis (flying home today) I wish the posters from this forum who suffered personal loss this year a hopefully more salubrious 2013 & beyond.
I no doubt will be popping in from time to time over the break with thoughts, charts and music.
Bon Voyage to/from me
